For example, I have had a chronograph sitting on my bench for over a year waiting for me to take it apart and see if I can put it back together again.

It's not a complete watch and it isn't working so it's really just for my own personal edification.

Today, each Hamilton timepiece incorporates the spirit of the brand`s American heritage and the precision of state-of-the-art Swiss watch movements.

The watches are excellently equipped to keep track of the fast moving pace of life today, and designed to keep the contemporary wearer looking good.

Hamilton Watch Company: Early Days In 1874, General Grant was President of the United States and Conestoga wagons creaked along the Lancaster Turnpike, as citizens heeded the call of Horace Greely to "go west." Another form of pioneer was building a factory in the pastoral community of Lancaster, Pennsylvania.

The Adams and Perry Watch Company went up right beside the turnpike. They brought skilled watchmakers to Lancaster and began production in 1875.

Today it is common to wear a watch on one’s wrist, but it was a different story around 100 years ago.

Through a series of mergers and acquisitions, the Hamilton Watch Company became a diversified conglomerate itself and was subsequently integrated into the Swatch group.

Hamilton mostly produced pocket watches and wristwatches before the company was diversified and shifted its focus. There, Hamilton is of historical importance because in 1971 it became the third company of what was to later become the Swatch Group.

They rely on ETA movements as do many other Swiss made watch brands.

The precursor to the Hamilton Watch Co., the Lancaster, Pennsylvania based Keystone Standard Watch Co., was started by Abram Bitner in 1886 with the purchase of Lancaster Watch Company's factory.

Keystone manufactured watches featuring a patented "Dust Proof" design that used a small acrylic "window" to cover the only opening in the plate of the movement.
